My practice is focused on medical malpractice, automobile negligence, and personal injury. I have litigated, mediated and facilitated numerous multi-million dollar settlements on behalf of injured victims for over twenty years, and sit on mediation panels in Oakland, Wayne and Macomb County Circuit Courts.
In addition, for the last 23 years, I have also represented individuals and businesses in the entertainment industry, including representing record companies, recording artists, music and film producers, production companies, artist managers, agents, songwriters, music publishers, models and modeling agencies, authors and literary publishers. Services provided to entertainment clients include counseling clients in the entertainment field, contract drafting and negotiation and litigation.
